Carnival of Hurricane Relief, #104
This is the 104th Carnival of Hurricane Relief. For the first time since records have been kept, two category 5 hurricanes have formed in the same season. Last week there was Dean. This week there is Felix. Next?
A Special Appeal from Karen Gadbois
Karen Gadbois has been working her fizzwanger off
to not just rebuild New Orleans,
but to rebuild it with style, grace and a history.
She is a perpetual motion machine powering Squandered Heritage and her posts have been frequently included in this Carnival.
(Her post this week describes a savory victory: a house not demolished.)
She wants your help to bring a presidential debate to New Orleans.
It makes sense that discussions about the nation’s domestic agenda take place in New Orleans, a city that is rebuilding its infrastructure and confronting social, environmental, and security issues on a daily basis. The funds to host the debate are already in place, the city has the hotel and convention infrastructure to be a gracious host and the effort has received endorsements from both sides of the aisle, including Senators Clinton, Obama, McCain and Governor Romney.
Deadline: September 11th. Click through now to find out how you can help.
The first Carnival of Hurricane Relief was hosted by Glenn Reynolds at the urging of Hugh Hewitt with the support of N.Z. Bear in direct response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast in 2005. It also includes areas damaged by Hurricanes Rita and Wilma.
Hosts are needed! Posts are needed! Pictures are needed!
See the CoHR homepage for details.

| Insurance companies win major Katrina ruling Alternative headline: Louisiana homeowners lose. The homeowners, understandably, want to be made whole. Sadly, it’s unlikely that the insurance companies can legally be compelled to make them whole. Further, it’s not economically viable for the insurance companies to be forced to do so extra-legally. No company has pockets that deep. Lesson: believe the exclusion clauses in your homeowner’s insurance. |

| Hurricane Katrina: Two Years Later I’m glad VJack took time to cool down before posting this — makes a better entry. I would dispute some of his statistics, and his insistence that recovery is the responsibility of the federal government. I would point out that many of the inequities that make him grind his molars are economics at work — sorry — while others are human nature — unscrupulous behavior cannot be magicked away through the power of wishful thinking. Stipulate all the sorry conditions are true: how do we move forward? |

| 99L a threat to Carolinas; Felix dies; Henriette does a double landfall The mountains of Honduras shredded Hurricane Felix, but not before the category 5 storm heavily damaged the Nicaraguan coastal community of Puerto Cabezas. The Carolinas could face a low-grade hurricane or tropical storm next week. Henriette in the Pacific brushes past Baja California on its way to the Mexican mainland. And if you liked category 5 Hurricane Dean, conditions support the formation of another storm just like it off the African coast. If that happens, it would be the third category 5 hurricane of the 2007 season — incredible! |
